Imperial Fist Inceptor Squad PIP 1

Small update today....was distracted a lot last night so I didn't get much done or so it felt like.

So after painting my LT I realized that with my paint scheme it would be much easier to touch up the bone color then it would be to do the complete yellow process (bone, Argrax earthshade/ lahmia medium, white, lamenters yellow) when I make mistakes with the red paints. I still need to do more bone touch ups and I will probably do the metallic and black colors next before moving on to the yellow. The banner is also slowly being worked as my paint is drying distraction.

Imperial Fist Primaris WIP (Update #3)

Update So the other day I was flipping through the Primaris minidex that came with the starter and realized I made a mistake. 




I reversed the LT's Helmet stripe colors. and I could have left it like this but it really started bugging me mentally. 



So I had to fix it last night. Then I realized the white stripe was too big so ill fix that tonight maybe......

then I started working on my next models, the Inceptors starting with the Veteran Sgts helmet and changing all the bare head models hair to white. 



Still need to do the metallic colors on it. 


So I am planning on  my specialty units (Inceptors, Hellblasters, Reivers, and Aggressors) to be Lead by Veteran Sgts along with Intercessor Squad I.  This may end up only being 1 squad from each of the options .

Currently in my Primaris Collection
- Gravis Captain
-Captain (Shipped from GW)
-Librarian (Shipped from GW)
-2 LTs 
-Primaris Ancient
-3 Intercessor Squads (I-III)
-2 Inceptors Squads (VII-VIII)
-2 Hellblaster Squads (IX-X)

I will be preordering First Strike this Weekend so I will have a partial Intercessor squad and a Reiver squad shortly.

Inceptors WIP part 1

So last night I started working on the Dark Imperium Primaris Marines, starting with the Inceptor Jump Troops.

Less Assault Marine more Attack Helicopter

Landing Skiffs and twin heavy bolters yeah interesting models. The models honestly remind me of the Destro's Iron Grenadiers T.A.R.G.A.T. Action Figure from G.I. Joe

TRANS ATMOSPHERIC RAPID GLOBAL ASSAULT TROOPER

One of the first issues I ran into was the shoulder pad.....my Shapeways logo was to big to do what I wanted (shown below).

So I had to move the brass etch to the knee......which means bending flat brass to a to rounded surface....I think I spent more time looking for the 2nd etch then I did putting the 3 Inceptors together. 

So the squad is built into sub assemblies for painting: Head, back pack, lower exhaust thrusters, and body/ Legs/ Arms. They still need their Fist Shoulder pad logos and some more brass etch Fist Icons on them. 

I think I'll try to start on my Intercessors next
